Life on Earth Might Endure on Mars or Jupiter
University of Hawaii plant physiologist Sanford M. Siegel told a Texas A&M symposium that ordinary plants and fungi tolerate extreme or exotic environments. He cited beans and cucumbers growing in 5 percent oxygen and even 1 percent oxygen, and onions germinating in ammonia atmospheres. He noted frost resistance at minus 20 to minus 30 C under low oxygen and described experiments on adaptation beyond Earth’s bounds.
